    Are Canadian fans of other teams getting behind Vancouver...?

    ...Or do they hate them as rivals??

    Just curious.

    In any event, go B's!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh, I thought you were being sarcastic about hockey. Yeah Man, I hope it's a fantastic series too. It should get more fans too and help build the sport some I think because of the America vs. Canada thing, and having an Original Six team in it.

    In any event, I live in Boston and bleed black and gold, so I obviously am going to be glued to every second of it.

    As a Habs fan I'm behind the Canucks but if the Bruins are somehow able to win they definitely deserve it. Should be a good final.

    Interesting... so it's more about a rival going down than it is about national pride? I guess I can see this, it's not like I'd root for the Yankees against a European baseball team or something.

    Not at all, as a leaf fan, I'm rooting to see Tomas Kaberle get a cup, as he endured a lot of crap in Toronto, and he is deserving of hoisting the grail....
    Plus, as a matter of National Pride, there are more Canadian born players on the Bruins than there are on the Canucks.....

    That's sad to be honest man. I don't get Leafs fans. Boston is your division rival, fcuked you over in countless trades yet you cheer for them. You play the Canucks twice a year yet cheer against them. That's like me cheering for the Wild if they played the Leafs in the finals which I wouldnt do.

    ha! we leaf fans are of a different mold thats for certain. But since they (bruins) made the cup finals, we also nabbed their 2012 2nd round pick in that Kaberle trade. Since i was a wee lad, I always rooted for original 6 teams (exception being the HABS of course) when the leafs were ousted....this year is no different. Bad trades are part of being a hockey fan. Also, the Bruins have more Canadian content than the Nucks', so technically I'm cheering on the hometown majority, thus meaning if the Bruins win the cup, the cup itself will be in Canada more so, than if the Nucks' win it.

    But being totally honest, it comes down to the mind fcuking that Bettman has done to me, I still cant get over the fact no Canadian team has won the cup since he took over operations....I dont think this is a coincidence......so in the back of my mind, it's a forgone conclusion that the Bruins will win it this year.

    time will tell......

    I'm a Leaf fan and I love them to death. I'm also a true Canadian at heart and was even on the Canadien bandwagon last year and jumped on the Canuck bandwagon this year. btw, I'm in the military which I think has much to do with my patriotism.

    I'm EDM and was a longtime laugher at VAN's troubles. At present though I respect what they've done this year and their skill/heart. I respect skill and committment first, then national loyalty. Cheers

    For me it's personal. I don't like Vancouver players, I think there a bunch of diving cowards ready to fight people who don't fight. If there's one thing I ll enjoy it ll be Boston constantly driving the sedins into the boards.

    Flames fan here, and can't say that I'm cheering for the Canucks. Although made some good money betting the series against Nashville. And it wouldn't hurt to see the cup come back to Canada, same year as the Jets being announced as making a return..

    Flames/Oilers/Sens all made the finals in the last decade...Flames/Oilers took it to game 7. The cup was there to be had. (Flames could have won it at home in game 6 if memory serves)

    Leafs fan here and not rooting for either team in the final.

    One cool thing (similar to last year) about the final is that one team's long drought will end. Bruin's first cup win in 37 years or Canucks first cup ever.
